***There is going to be a special fundraising item that is going to be announced very soon. It involves a special necklace that was designed especially for Jessica and all the proceeds from the sales of this item will be donated to Jessica's Journey Savings Club! I have seen it and it is beautiful! It was made in honor of Jessica and her efforts to increase Lyme disease awareness, something that Jessica has been very passionate about since she has been battling that disease for the past four years as well! As soon as I have all the info and links, I will blog this SPECIAL NEWS and how it all came about and how and when it will become available!!!


A Message from Jessica's Dad in N.Y.:

For those of you who don't know, Michelle Stevens (Jessica's sister), Genevieve Klatt and Erin Giacini designed and made over 200 (Hope for Jessica) bracelets Wednesday night and sold them at the Garden City Middle School during lunch break on Thursday and Friday. Of course it would not have been possible to do this without the kindness and approval of Dr. Osroff Principal, Ms. Lee and Mr. Marr Asst. Principals and Ms. Weiner our favorite Guidance Counselor. And, of course a big shout out to Renee Klatt who purchased all the supplies and has opened her heart and home to Michelle.

Now, is everyone sitting down - because the amount raised by Michelle, Genevieve and Erin is staggering. The grand total collected in two days of selling bracelets to 6,7 and 8th graders totaled a whopping $1,195.00 !!!

This money will be sent to Carol Biron in Florida and added to the Jessica's Journey Savings Club account.

On behalf of my family and Jessica, I would like to thank all those involved.

Michelle, Your love for your sister is boundless. And, Gen, and Erin, I couldn't ask for Michelle to have more loyal friends.

David Stevens (Jessica's Dad)

P.S. We are still waiting for the amount that was also collected from the faculty who participated in "Dress Down Day". I will let you know as soon as we find out from Ms. Weiner.
What a tremendous outpouring of support - THANK YOU ALL!

UPDATE: Just found out that the faculty raised $720.00!!! WOW!! Thank You All Once Again for All your efforts!!!

Update on Jessica:
The past 2 days have been rough for Jessica. She has not been feeling well and so further blood tests were drawn to see if her red blood counts have gotten any better. If they are still very low, Dr. Cantu said he will have to give her another blood transfusion today. This would be the second one she has had to receive since we have been here in Mexico. Jessica says that because of this, she is now going to be "part-Mexican"!!!

Please pray for Jessica and the other american coma patients as well - Devon & Justin.

By the way, Devon will most likely be leaving the hospital this week so I presented her with her ketamine coma bear. This is the 4th bear I have made so far. Hers is called "Escape Bear" because of her trying to escape from the hospital in the beginning of her stay on the 8th floor. I will save that story for the day she finally does leave or "escape"!

"The mind of man plans his way, but, the Lord directs his steps". Proverbs 16:9

All our love,
Jessica's Mom
